An email from Tanya

"Remember Manchester next weekend for the First Rugby League Test!
How exciting!
I decided to use some of my birthday money to stay in a hotel in Manchester instead of a hostel.
It is going to cost me £90.00 for the night including a full buffet breakfast and late checkout!
Why not treat myself - it will be my birthday!
